2011 Experience: 6th Season
IDP Fantasy Football Outlook: While I respect DeMeco Ryans game, I don’t believe this is the season you should target him for your IDP league, unless you can get him for depth on your roster. Ryans is recovering from surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon and has yet to run at full speed at the start of July. Look to fellow inside linebacker Brian Cushing as the option you will want this season.
Ryans should be back to full health by next season but this year he will probably limp his way to around 85 tackles, and you need more than that from a starting inside linebacker to regular play.

2010 IDP Fantasy Football Outlook
Much like Brian Cushing’s rookie season, DeMeco Ryans enjoyed a major rookie year back in 2006. Since that time Ryans has been a reliable IDP middle linebacker but hasn’t posted the numbers he did as a rookie. This season could be a bigger year as Cushing won’t be with the team for the first month and Ryans may reap the benefits.
